FAQs
Who is the Brooks Glycerin 23 best suited for?
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is ideal for neutral runners, adult runners of all levels, and those who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.
How does the DNA LOFT v3 cushioning differ from previous versions?
DNA LOFT v3 is an updated version of Brooks' cushioning technology, offering an even softer and lighter feel with enhanced nitrogen-infused properties for improved comfort and performance.
Can I use these trainers for speedwork or racing?
While comfortable, the Glycerin 23 prioritizes plush cushioning. For faster paces or racing, you might prefer a more responsive shoe from Brooks' lineup, though some runners still find them suitable for marathon racing.
How should I clean my Glycerin 23 trainers?
Clean by hand using a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
Typically, running shoes like the Glycerin 23 are expected to last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km). The improved outsole durability in this model may extend this range slightly.
Are these shoes suitable for overpronation?
The Glycerin 23 is designed for neutral runners. If you overpronate, you might benefit more from a stability shoe. Consult a running specialist for personalized recommendations.
What if the shoe doesn't fit quite right?
Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width, or explore other models that might better suit your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Try a runner's knot or different lacing techniques to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning naturally breaks down with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended mileage for optimal performance and comfort.
Upper material feels stiff
The engineered mesh is designed to be breathable and supportive. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
